I had this set up for about a month and started to notice my front end getting squirrely on me a little. I threw my bolts back on and it was much better so I am not confident in this set up. This was my experience running a 3" lift and 35's so it may be different for others.

I think the washers I am using may be to thick and I can't get my pin into the first hole exiting the sway bar link. I might revisit becuase they were convenient to have when I needed to disconnect quickly.

Yea I can see what you mean about thick washers because mine is a tight fit also. I also grinded the tip of the cotter to make it a lol easier to put in.

Mine rattles over bumps, big deal. I have a flowmaster super 10 too Lol. As for the squirlyness in the front end, a 1/16" of movement in the swaybar isn't going to change handling. Heck you could rub without it connected at all if you want. I personally would never waste $100 on disconnects when I can do the exact same thing with $5 of hardware. And if for some reason it does fail (highly highly unlikely) your jeep isn't going to crash into a ditch. In fact you probably wouldn't feel it unless they both broke at the same time. There is no load on the hitch pins tho.

I think that may have been in your head because a bit of movement in the sway bar will not make the front end squirrelly. All the sway bar does is match the left shell to the right in up and down travel. It has nothing to do with a left to right motion which is how I would think "squirrelly" would mean. If I'm mis understanding your idea of squirrelly please let me know.
